Australian green tree frogs as pets

These frogs are very popular as pets. They are very docile, calm, and have very long life expectancies, up to 16 years. These make excellent pets also because they are easy to care for and they will eat many different things. So the broad diet helps with it being such a popular pet. The one problem with these frogs is that when they are pets they tend to get over fed and end up dieing. The reason this is such a problem in captivity is because they tend to be hand fed so they don’t have to work for their food were as in the wild they need to exercise in order to get their food.[8]
